What are the features of a criminal network?

What will be an ideal response?


A network consists of a collection of connected points or junctures; a criminal network typically functions within a subcultural environment—an "underworld"--whose habitués range from members of criminal groups to persons with marginal employment, e.g., bouncers at sex-oriented establishments, professional gamblers, to a variety of part- and full-time criminals with varying degrees of skill and success. A criminal network has points of convergence where participants congregate. Migration broadens the reach of existing criminal networks.
